as if things couldn’t get any worse.
A fire has broken out at the Serum Institute of India - the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer - possibly affecting its future expansion of Covid-19 vaccine production.
Firefighters are tackling the blaze at the building under construction but the cause of the fire and extent of damage are not yet known, according to the fire office in Pune city in the southern Maharashtra state.
The vaccine company said the fire was restricted to a new facility it is constructing to increase production of Covid-19 vaccines and ensure it is better prepared for future pandemics.It said the fire did not affect existing facilities making Covid-19 vaccines or a stockpile of around 50 million doses. No injuries were reported, it said.

I think that's something folk are tending to block out or ignore - the fact that these vaccines don't give 100% protection.
OK, the percentages are good, but there will always be unlucky folk, like everything in life.
Plus they don't yet know - but hopefully soon will - whether you can still be contagious after vaccination.
Hence why I shout (but only a bit these days!) at the telly when they interview some old dear coming out after being vaccinated saying that she is looking forward to rushing home and hugging the grandkids.

just been watching loose women......one of them has had 1st jab.........she cant wait to get back to normal etc etc.......that would have been an ideal time (as the programme is well watched) to lay it on thick and loud and serious THAT EVEN AFTER HAVING VACCINE INCLUDING 2nd DOSE THAT WE STILL HAVE TO TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS...........cannot for th life of me not understand how lots of folk really just dont understand that.
was SURPRISED when i had my jab.. that i WAS NOT given a stern warning to that effect........again that would have been an ideal time to instill in folks that it is not 100 percent and still adhere to mask, hand distance etc. etc..........
i duly told the doc who gave me the jab ,,,that it should be sternly voiced to all at the time of them getting the jab.........

I think the bodies responsible for Public Heath have left a lot to be desired in the way they have provided the right information to get messages across.
In many respects they've failed quite badly on this front.
And the media haven't helped either.
Rather shambolic, imho, and at this stage in the game there really is no room for any more excuses.

Yes, but she would be an Essex girl, and therefore immune from almost everything. Including common sense.One of my MIL's neighbours has just had her second jab and has already started going out in her car shopping and visiting family,

I will not alter my regime after the jab.
We have been going out twice a week, early morning, for shopping and every other day walking for exercise, strictly following Government guidelines.
We have a clear walk to the various paths along the Southbourne cliff tops and rarely get within 30 feet of anybody else.

However there is a problem
For two days before the jab and for two weeks after you are strongly recommendedto lay off the alcohol.

The last point was mentioned at our last Zoom meeting. Maybe it’s not widely enough publicised.
Additionally new variants continue to be imported. Recent arrivals with incorrect tests have merely been fined £500 and then permitted to enter UK. At last quarantine in hotels at travellers expense as elsewhere would appear to be the favoured solution. Link

It should be noted that a virus will always mutate when it is passed on a lot. The key is to prevent this as much as possible, that is why I have always thought it should have been a criminal offence to break the guidelines (which should have been Laws).
I am starting to sound like Captain Hindsight now!

It's really good to hear that fellow members around the country are successfully getting their jabs. Sadly, our area is not one of them.
Our GP Practice declined to take any part in the roll-out, and NHS England have been scrabbling around trying to ensure those over 80 receive jabs in other areas. The issue even made a question in the House.
Still, we've got our daily walks, birdsong, foxes brazenly running about, food and booze. So we're absolutely fine.

apparently pfizer vaccine only gives 50% protection on first jab..........,,,new strain of covid apparently makes vaccine 50% less effective............also pfizer say 2nd jab should be given within 3 weeks...............so,says radio 4........and its what pfizer have said all along.............SAys here on radio 3 weeks, as normal we are getting mixed signals.
so all that stress of me trying to get to jab hub etc was all in vain.........???????????
mind,,,,,im still going to look on positive side......and also follow all ppe instructions etc.... all stay safe
